Really, don’t drink randomly! Recently, a woman from mainland China posted online, stating that one day at home, she smelled her father cooking a very fragrant soup. Out of curiosity, she also went to the kitchen to ladle a bowl to taste it. Unexpectedly, when she was about to finish drinking, her mother hurriedly advised her, saying, “That pot of soup is your father’s aphrodisiac soup,” which instantly killed her appetite. As a result, she couldn’t sleep at all that night, and when she finally managed to fall asleep, she woke up the next day to find three major abnormalities in her body, exclaiming “Help, I need saving.” The post immediately sparked intense discussions among netizens.
The woman posted on Xiaohongshu, stating that because the soup her father cooked in the kitchen smelled so good, she couldn’t resist ladling a bowl to drink. As she was about to finish drinking, her mother rushed over to advise her, saying that the soup in the kitchen was made of fish glue, seahorses, deer antler, and ginseng, also known as her father’s “aphrodisiac soup,” leaving the woman dumbfounded and completely losing her appetite.
Because she drank her father’s tonic, the woman lamented that she felt extremely energetic that night and couldn’t sleep at all, “rolling in bed for 4 hours and still full of energy, unwilling to fall asleep.” After forcing herself to sleep, she woke up the next day only to find pimples on her face, sore gums, and a hoarse throat, feeling extremely unwell, and couldn’t help but exclaim “Help, I need saving.”
After sharing this bizarre experience online, it sparked intense discussions among netizens, with many leaving humorous comments such as, “I also need to drink this before going to work, otherwise I can’t get through the day,” “You can participate in a marathon without resting halfway,” and “Your mom must be really angry with you.” Some netizens who had drunk similar tonics commented, “I’ve also tried it, and it feels like my blood is boiling,” “It’s actually just hot air, it won’t have those exaggerated effects she mentioned.”
Interestingly, many female netizens begged the original poster to share the soup recipe, “Does your mom have the recipe? My friend’s husband really needs it,” “I have a friend who wants the recipe,” “I want the recipe.” Subsequently, the woman did post another article to share the recipe, while also emphasizing that she is not a professional and that such folk recipes should not be tried lightly.
